Angel Mendez, Staff Writer
I was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico but I was raised in Caguas, Puerto Rico, until my 5th birthday when I moved to the homeland. New Haven, Connecticut is where I now reside. I am a first-generation college student, so there is some pressure on me to do well and it makes things a bit more difficult without a guide, but I overcome. I have played baseball since I was 3 years old and am a member of the AIC baseball team. I dream to play professionally one day, it has always been a goal not only for me but a dream of my parents as well. I love photography and my favorite hobby is flag football.
